The Phonology of Hungarian

Péter Siptár, Miklós Törkenczy

Oxford University Press, 2000 - Foreign Language Study - 319 pages

This book is the first comprehensive account of the phonology of Hungarian to appear in English. Hungarian (Magyar) is a Finno-Ugric language spoken by over thirteen million people in Central Europe. Péter Siptár and Miklós Törkenczy here place the emphasis on descriptive coverage rather than theoretical issues, therefore ensuring that the book will be of interest not only for phonology specialists, but also for a much wider audience interested in Hungarian.
